Find out about which apps can run in ART (Android Run Time), the easy way

A quick little post for something we have been working on lately.

Quite a few of you people would have heard about Android Kitkat and the bag of goodies that it brings along with it. One of those important changes though, is very much under the hood. It is called ART or Android Runtime. So what is it, and why is it important to us?

As described by Google, ART is a new Android runtime being introduced experimentally in the 4.4 release. This is a preview of work in progress in KitKat that can be turned on in Settings > developer options. Before this, all these days, every Android application used to run in its own process, with its own instance of the Dalvik virtual machine. Dalvik has been written so that a device can run multiple VMs efficiently. The Dalvik VM executed files in the Dalvik Executable (.dex) format which is optimized for minimal memory footprint. Now, with Android 4.4, Google has revealed that the Dalvik replacement, called Android Runtime (ART), should improve the performance of Android apps by a huge margin. The early version of ART in Android 4.4 already has been reported to have sped up apps by around 100%, though it is too early to know the whole truth. It might as well be a placebo till then.

ART straddles an interesting mid-ground between compiled and interpreted code, called ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation. Currently with Android apps, they are interpreted at runtime every time you open them up. This is slow. (iOS apps, by comparison, are compiled in native code, which is much faster.) With ART enabled, each Android app is compiled to native code when you install it. Then, when it’s time to run the app, it performs with all the speed and responsiveness of a native app.

Now, a lot of developers as well as enthusiasts will be really interested in this thing. It allows Android developers to continue writing the exact same code, and having their apps work across a wide range of hardware specs and form factors — but now their apps will now run significantly faster, feel more responsive, and your device’s battery life should improve.

And this is where our new website, www.androidruntime.com comes in. Right now, in these initial stages, people are still confused as to which apps can run in ART and which cannot. Our website solves this tiny issue by letting you search for any app, and see if ART supports it or not. Missing an app but you know the answer to the question? You can even contribute and add to the supported app list. We will do a quick verification and update the search results.

Now the website is still in its infancy, but we are sure that a lot of people might be interested in it. So spread the word and do what you guys really do best.

Oh, and have a great weekend!

Hi, I was wondering where the link for the 4.3 rom is.. because i put in this url: http://s3.avatarrom.com/Nightly/nig...ly_4.0.6-1bf92cd506-20131029-NIGHTLY-mako.zip and it gave me this message: The page you have been looking for is not found. Please visit avatarrom.com for more details. Also in the OP where the 4.3 rom is mentioned there are gapps under it. so i wondering if the gapps have are included in the rom this time.

Thanks,

Explanations and facts. Our status as of now.

Lately there has been a lot of confusion as to our approach to AvatarROM and the support scenario for all the various devices. We have had a lot of negative, and must I say, important feedback, and we have also seen a slight wane in our download numbers.

First off the bat, let us lay it out there in front of you that AvatarROM is still up and running and very much alive. There have been a few problems lately, but more about that later. We would like to ensure to our users that our development pattern is still chugging like a well oiled machinery and soon things will be right back on track.

We received a lot of flak for the last 4.3 build that we came out with, which actually had a major flaw in the lockscreen, putting devices into continuous bootloops. Our immediate solution was to advice users not to upgrade at all, and to those who had, to downgrade to the previous build. Although we ended up promising users that we will soon release a new build, unfortunately it never ended up happening. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have not been able to push out a new build to our users, nor have we released any update for all those devices still on 4.2.2. The good news though, is that we will soon have a new build up and running. We are working on it and it should see the light of day soon.

The second problem, and in a way, a more grievous one was that a lot of older builds and in some cases, all the builds for specific device models got erased from our servers, as a result of which new users were never able to download our ROM. This lead to a lot of confusion, and in some cases, agitation that we might be wrapping up, which as we cleared up, is not the problem. We were trying to tweak the back- end servers and in the process, lost a lot of those older images. By the time we could salvage them, it was too late. Currently we are in the process of tweaking the servers (really carefully) and make sure that most of those missing builds are available.

So yes, in a nutshell, we really dropped the ball this time. We will like to thank all our users who stood valiantly alongside us, even though aware of the issues. We are looking into solving all these problems and should be able to alleviate them altogether in the coming days. So please be patient, just for a few more days.

Thanks

Dear "bippi79" and all other Senior Members..

I am seeking help! and thought you guys can help me...

I tried a ROM "V2 Slim" on my Xolo Q800 which worked fine BUT that changed the identity of my phone from Xolo to Nexus 4. The phone has stopped accepting the Original Xolo ROM ever since. (I think it is because V2 changed the identity of my phone from Xolo to Nexus 4).

< How and what I do:

I try to flash the Original ROM's Zip with CWM Recovery 6.0.3.0 with ROM manager 5.5.3.7;

It aborts the installation every-single-time I try to select the Zip. It opens, initializes and then aborts. It all happens within 1-2 seconds. >

I tried with the developer of that ROM (Mr. Shikhar) but somehow he has just been covering himself by being silent on this query since 3-4 months. :( Therefore my brain-tubelight suggested me to find my solution here as I am sure you guys definitely know Nexus 4 more than Google itself :)

Somehow I felt that you friends can help me in getting the Original ROM flashed on it.

Looking forward for help ..... :mad:

It may just be me, but this seems to run snappier than regular CM. What a great looking, very functional ROM. My one question is, does anyone else using the iPhone theme notice that tapping the Google search bar on the homescreen doesn't do anything? Google Now works fine using the gesture, but the search bar seems like dead space. Separately, can I just remove the darn thing altogether?

I'll be using the Avatar website to submit some suggestions, this ROM looks like it'll be nice to work with for a while and maybe even see if I can assist with some of the feature development/refinement and theming.

In the meantime, one "issue" I found but I'm not sure it is a real problem - the APN's for my network were slightly incorrect.

Anyone care to comment whether this is a real issue I should raise with the bug tracker, or whether such things are epected?
